What Clipboard History Manager does, with a checked example
Clipboard History Manager keeps a running list of the text you copy while you work with it, so you can search past snippets and re-copy them with one click. It records copies made inside the page and, when you allow it, reads the system clipboard through the Clipboard API, which requires HTTPS or localhost. The thing most people get wrong first: browsers provide no event when the system clipboard changes, so copies you make in other applications do not stream in live. They are captured only when the page reads the clipboard, and only after you approve the clipboard-read permission prompt.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Copy the text "Meeting at 3pm - Room 401" in any other application, then click anywhere on the tool's page so it reads the clipboard.
->
Expected output
The history gains one entry showing exactly "Meeting at 3pm - Room 401". Clicking that entry replaces the system clipboard with the identical string, ready to paste anywhere.
The tool stores the clipboard text it reads and replays that text verbatim on re-copy. It neither reformats nor truncates what it captured, so what you copy is what you get back.
